Information you have found in research Do terrorists want nuclear weapons? For a small set of terrorists, the answer is clearly "yes." Osama bin Laden has called the acquisition of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction a "religious duty." Al Qaeda operatives have made repeated attempts to buy nuclear material for a nuclear bomb, or to recruit nuclear expertise—including the two extremist Pakistani nuclear weapon scientists who met with bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri to discuss nuclear weapons. Before al Qaeda, the Japanese terror cult Aum Shinrikyo also made a concerted effort to get nuclear weapons. With at least two groups going down this path in the last 15 years, we must expect that others will in the future. Source/Citation #1 Bunn, Matthew. "The Threat of Nuclear Terrorism Is Real."
